New York-based hedge fund Fir Tree Capital Management has filed a lawsuit against digital asset manager Grayscale Investments over “potential mismanagement and conflicts of interest” at the firm’s flagship Bitcoin fund, according to a Bloomberg report.

The news came as Grayscale Bitcoin Trust’s (GBTC) discount plunged to a record low discount of more than 43% from the underlying Bitcoin value on Tuesday, with Fir Tree alleging that this is partly the result of Grayscale issuing “an immense number” between 2018 and 2021 without providing investors means of exiting their positions aside from selling shares to other investors.
